Subject Re: Whatsapp API From Mustansir Ghor <mustan31@hotmail.com> Date Sun, 30 Jul 2023 16:19:07 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Attachment(s) Capture1.png Dear all I went to the website Twilio. Yes t does offer these services. They have also give sample API's but most of them are for Web languages. I have attached the snapshot of API's and a sample given. But how to integrate it with dbase. An important issue. The client demands such feature in their apps as it has been a normal practice in apps to notify status and updates be it payment etc. I wish if someone who has made effort in this area can give input for us to get a lead on it.
